Moors murderer Ian Brady's heart stopped beating during a near-fatal fit at psychiatric hospital - but staff brought the killer back to life.

The 74-year-old collapsed for a number of minutes before staff turned to a defibrillator to save him, his confidante and health adviser Jackie Powell revealed.

She said Brady was furious when he discovered what had happened after lodging instructions with officials at the Ashworth Hospital in Liverpool never to resuscitate him.

Following the seizure, he is said to have repeated an offer to show police to the site of 12-year-old Keith Bennett's body - his only undiscovered victim.

His trusted mental health advocate Jackie Powell told the Sunday Mirror last night: 'He should be dead. They should have let him go.'
